Want to connect to another computer

I want to connect iPod touch to my laptop that I use most. I do not want to have my stored music deleted. It happened to me in the past when switch the connection from one computer to another computer. I want to avoid it.

On your iMac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Shift your eyes away from the window in the center of the screen and move your focus to the top edge of the computer screen, where you will see the AirPort Utility menus
Click Base Station
Click Equivalent Network Password and your password and "key" will be revealed

How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

I orginally sync my Ipad with another computer, now I want to sync with another computer

I originally synced my Ipad with another computer, now I want to sync with anohter computer, I don't want to erase my Ipad and sync with my Ipod.

This is an extract from one of our senior participant; hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here
Syncing with new computer
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

HT3819 I can use remote on my iPhone to connect with my iTunes library, but i can't connect to another computer using home sharing to access apple tv. I have used the same access ID and password that is used for the apple tv.

I can use the Remote app on my iphone to connect with my itunes library on my computer, but I can't connect to the Apple TV using home sharing with another computer in the house. I am using the same ID and password that the apple tv uses to connect with the other computer. Also how do I check what version of IOS that my iphone is using?

Version:
iOS Settings>General About (or it'll say when you hook it up to iTunes)
Are all the devices on the same physical network? I think you're saying all are set up using the same home sharing credentials.
If you've not done so restart all devices and your router.
If you can get any of the devices connected by ethernet to reduce the wifi burden that may help but to be honest I would not expect simply beoing on wifi to prevent devices/computers appearing in the list.
Does the other computer have any firewall or port blocking software running?

Connect to another computer

my application reads from or writes to a file of another computer (one in Network Neighborhood). now, i have to create the connection manually by using 'Map Network Drive'.
is it possible to program in java (VJ++) : when starting the application, it connects to the sharing directory of another computer and read or write file there. when quitting the application, it disconnects automatically?

can you give me the code for that.

Failed External Hard Drive - Connect to another computer to repair??

Hi Guys
I have an older Maxtor External hard drive that looks like it has failed. At least that is what my Disk Utility says in my Power Mac G4. There is a solid red light, and just a blinking green, and it will not load onto my desk top on my Power Mac G4. But the weird thing is that I see it in my "System Profiler", and "Disk Utility", even +when it is not connected.+
If I connect this Maxtor hard drive to another computer, like my Mac Book Pro, to see if there is any life left in it, using disk utility or another recovery disk, will it do any harm to my Mac Book Pro? Is it contagious?
Thanks,
Anneita

No, it isn't contagious. Connect it to any computer you like.

I just had Uverse installed. The iMac which was my base station is now connected via my household electric ground connection. Another computer is now the base station. I have connected my Time Capsule to my computer by USB cable, but can't set it up

I just had Uverse installed. My iMac desktop has been the base station for my wi fi, but we had to connect it via ground wire of my electrical system and use another desktop as the base station [with windows op system]. We have connected my Time Capsule to the computer via USB cable. I believe that will require setting up the Capsule to use Ethernet, but the instructiions on the install disc only talk about using Airport. How can I find instructions for setting up using USB cable and Ethernet?
Thanks!
Charles Leach

All the manuals are listed at the head of the thread.

The TC cannot connect to the computer by USB.. it is network device.. it only connects by ethernet or wireless.. usb is for external drive or printer.

Connection to another computer

This may be really obvious to many, however the combo drive in my i book is broken and I don;t want to buy another, however I would like to get all the photos off my i book without emailing them as I only have a dial-up. How can I transfer these to another computer ? The other computer is an iMac.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Is the iMac new enough to be equipped with a FireWire port? If so, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to access the iBook's hard drive and transfer your photos over.

IPod loses "Last Played" after being connected to another computer

I've done a lot of searching on this, but it's a hard thing to search for since it's difficult to explain. Hopefully someone has heard of this before. If it's already been posted somewhere, I apologize.
Basically, I sync my iPod classic 80gb with my work computer. I use a lot of smart playlists to manage what I listen to. "Last Played" is an integral part of my smart playlist system.
If I connect my iPod to any computer other than my work computer, the iPod will forget any of the songs I listened to since the last time I synced. I would like to be able to use the iPod as a portable hard drive, but when I do I lose this information. I just tested this to be sure, but when this happens, I don't lose any ratings that I've given to songs since my last sync. So far I've only noticed "Last Played" being dropped.
Any information would be a huge help. Thanks!

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. ipod is stuck in recovery mode. Connected to different computer to restore and after 75 minutes of downloading get a message that there was a Problem downloading, network connection timed out. Cannot get past "connect to itunes" on ipod.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves that error.

Set up iPad on one computer and now want to sync to another computer

We gave my Dad an iPad for Christmas (16 GB, WiFi), mainly as a photo album to amuse my ailing mother.
I live in Ontario and he lives in BC. I bought the iPad and set it up using my iMac. Put about 600 family photos on it and sent it off to him in BC. I knew that this might cause a challenge when he attached it to his iMac, but I figured let's try it anyway.
He has connected it to his iMac and wants to add photos from iPhoto. Is there any way to preserve the photos that I put on, or are they going to get wiped as soon as he adds another album? I can always transfer the files to him via CD or FTP, and he can put them into his iPhoto and thus to the iPad from there. But is there an easier way?
Hope this makes sense. In short, if he wants to sync more photos from his iMac, do we lose all the photos that I put on there from my computer?
Thanks!

Not entirely sure about iPhoto as I don't have a mac, but when syncing from folder(s) only the contents of the most recent sync will be on the iPad - but I assume that iPhoto will be the same and will therefore remove the previous sync before putting the ones on. He also won't be able to copy them off before syncing as you can only do that with photos loaded via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websties.
This article has some general info on syncing photos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Best way to connect to another computer via Internet

Hello,
I would like to be able to help my students from time to time remotely, that is, by accessing their computer via the Internet so I could make some demos whether on my own screen our theirs.I know that we can do this at school via Apple Remote Desktop. I read a few post on Apple's Forum's Web Site saying that it was quite simple to do but there where many conditions required.
A simple way is neede here since I'm will be talking mostly at starters on the mac and maybe some will be on a PC.
I will need to give them simple instructions to connect easally.
I am not that familiar with "File Sharing", I know the option is there in my Mac. But I'm not sure all of my students will be on the same network and maybe some will be on PC also?
Do I really need Apple Remote Desktop, some other software or via a Web site such as "logmein.com" or others?
Thank you for answering and looking forward to read you,
Robert Marchand
<Email Edited by Host>

HI,
Thank's for answering. I've cheked the product and it seem's quite simple effectively. I even talk to a person on the phone who explained to me what where the possibilities. It seem's like if I want to show how I do something on my Mac to one of my student the student need then to also download the software. As soon as I told the ladie it was between my students and I, the sofware is no longer free (30$ a month?...). So I guess I would have to be cautious about using that product free of charge with my students, as long as I do a "Pear To Pear" connection...
Are there other Internet Services such as this one?
Thank you for answering,

Want to connect to another Mac in another state, Best Way?

G'day, I help my brother out with his accounting for his business, at the moment I am using logmein to connect and do what I have to. It is very choppy and a bit hard to work with and cant wake his mac up if it goes to sleep.
I'm just wondering if there is a better way to connect to him? I use a Mac Book Pro and he has the latest iMac.
At home I am a part of a private network to work so I just VNC into all the computers on that network, that works quite well most of the time. I have a time machine with a linksys broadband firewall router / VPN endpoint.
I had a look at back to my mac but he had some errors, my end says it will work with another mac with it enabled.
What would the best solution be?
Thank you

I'm not sure how that will effect my current private network with work?
The network on your end doesn't matter much, as long as you're not behind some kind of firewall that prohibits screen sharing connections. What's important is the network on the other end, as you'll need full control of it in order to set up access to your brother's machine. But if you read my other post that I referred you to and it sounds like Greek, you're probably better off just sticking to either LogMeIn or Back To My Mac.
If I did try it do you just set up a shared mac in the finder window and screen share somehow?
You'd turn on screen sharing in System Preferences -> Sharing on your brother's machine, making sure that you know an appropriate username and password on his computer. Then, from your machine, the easiest thing to do is to open /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing (adding this to the Dock would be a good idea if you do this a lot) and type in the IP address of your brother's home network. See the notes on that IP address in that post I gave you a link to.
Anyone had any experience with back to my mac?
No idea, I haven't needed it, so I haven't tried it. Someone else will have to chime in on that one.

My iMac wants to connect to another machine on startup

Hi All,
I purchased a new iMac a few weeks ago and went through the Migration Assistant to move stuff from my old G5. I did it via the ethernet method since I didn't have a fw800/400 cable to connect the 2 machines. There was a slight hiccup in that it didn't want to transfer the applications just all of my other data. I didn't mind and went forward. Now the problem, during the first few days of usage I kept filesharing on the G5 turned on so I could grab various things from its 2nd internal HD. At some point I switched off filesharing on the G5. Now I get error messages (currently during startup) that the machine (the G5) couldn't be found and that I should check my network, etc. For a while I attributed this to the ftp application Transmit. I had a long email thread with the developer because it seemed that every time I started Transmit that warning would come up. He thought it might have been an alias in my Sites folder that Transmit was trying to resolve, but that didn't seem to be the case. As part of the troubleshooting process I set Transmits default folder to be a random folder on an attached USB Drive. So that seemed to stop that warning from happening when I launched Transmit. However during the startup process of the iMac I was getting the error. It seemed to be happening when Transmit's menu bar icon was loading. So I turned off the menu bar feature. Unfortunately the warning is still coming up. So now I am trying to figure out what process is looking for the old G5.
I looked in my Console to see if anything stood out. (I've pasted a snippet below). I see a line item for rpc.statd that references the ip address of the G5, so that looks like something. But I also see that it is after the line where iClip loads. When the machine is booting up I get the error message. When I click 'OK', then the rest of the startup process continues and iClip loads after that. So not sure what that means.
If anyone has any other methods for trying to figure out what is trying to contact the G5 I would greatly appreciate it. Its really getting annoying now.
Thank You,
Chris

Hi Don,
I thought for a minute I might have found it. I had a saved search in the "Search For" section that referred to the hard drive on the G5. But unfortunately, removing it didn't prevent the error from showing during startup. If it helps I've attached a screenshot of the error message.
Thanks,
Chris
